Yukon Municipal Energy Solutions Partnership

The three-year agreement takes the form of a Memorandum of Understanding signed by Yukon Development Corporation, Association of Yukon Communities, Natural Resources Canada and Federation of Canadian Municipalities to help implement new energy efficiency and renewable energy initiatives. Among other benefits, the partnership is expected to result in comprehensive energy audits of municipal infrastructure and implementation of cost-effective, integrated energy solutions. It will also work with interested local governments on the option of delivering a rural electrification program in their communities. The improved access to programs and funding levered by the partnership will help municipalities accelerate efficiency and renewable energy projects
